Iyas ibn Salamah reported from his father: I led Allah’s Prophet, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn on his gray mule until I brought him to the Prophet’s chamber. One of them was in front of him, and the other behind him.

The demonstratives ‘this one’ and ‘that one’ refer to al-Hasan and al-Husayn; the Arabic does not identify which was in front and which behind.
